Providing routing and elevation profiles for the roads, paths and tracks that probably existed in the Jura Mountains at the end of the 19th Century.

A mapping by the date a feature was first mapped is available together with the more detailed JuraMap.

Largely based on the SCASB that is available at Framagit under the AGPL-v3 licence, the JuraMap routing app and its accompaying OpenRouteService are described in an implementation note that is introduced in a Jura Mountains blog item.

Simple approach

• Routes

  • Click on the map to start and end a route. The route can be extended using additional clicks. The map will zoom and move to centre on the route. A point on a route can be removed by double clicking on the point. Points can be moved to a new position.
  • Use the sidebar button to zoom on and move to the centre of a route.

• Elevation profile

  • Use the sidebar button to show or hide the elevation profile for a route.

Advanced

• Layers

  • The sidebar button allows different layers to be selected.

• Route

  • The sidebar button displays the coordinates of a route. Click to remove the route.

• Settings

  • The sidebar button allows the type of elevation profile to be selected. Currently only hiking is provided for, and details for a particular profile are not displayed.

• Itinerary

  • The sidebar button displays the itinerary for a route.

• Other

  • Buttons are provided for centering and zooming on a route () and for mapping a user's location ().

About

• Routing

  • Routing uses a self-hosted OpenRouteService. A Version 2 API is used, as described in a Jura Mountains mapping blog post.
